Judy,

Try George Ramogi’s Argwings Kodhek Onindo. It’s a very moving song. Just YouTube it.

Or Mboya Memorial.

Tom Kodiyo sings George Ramogi: Pesa Orumo, Opiyo Timmy

Uploaded on Mar 20, 2011
Tom Kodiyo remakes of old Ramogi hit songs.
Pesa Orumo [Financially Ruined] [5:50] is a song about fake friends and a friend in need. See translation within. Opiyo Timmy celebrates ‘Budho’, a famous party organised at this man’s home, where guests, musicians and their groupies did their things endlessly in delight.

For nostalgic reasons I post the original Opiyo Timmy too. For those who remember their father’s first record-players at Kaluo. Red sanyos with two-cover speakers, brown philips in compact suitcase models. Kassanga vinyls that turned convex in the hot sun. The amazement as even the dogs stopped fighting the cats over fish-bones to gape at the unevenly spinning turn-table, as returnees from the city introduced us to recorded music under the siala and ojwok and oyieko trees! Ah, how time flies.

Tom Kodiyo remakes George Ramogi: Oyuke Ben, Omullo Dick

Uploaded on Apr 23, 2011
The Metro Dumbe Dumbe of Tom Kodiyo and other veterans of the Old Continental Kilo (CK Dumbe Dumbe) of George Ramogi, achieved stupendous sucess in the wake of a tsunami of nostalgia that swept Luoland when they redid hoardes of the old songs.
The second song at 5:20 is called Ogono Sammy here, but it is a replicate of the old Omullo Dick, a track composed by Jerry Okello ‘Obengo’ Janyakatch, of the notorious laughing voice, that sang the now legendary lines:

Imiyo omin ‘tella long’ moro ma k’arwako to nyiri opong’ kuoma ni bi ikenda, (Okello Jerry b’ikenda x2) watedo nyakau! OR:

You let fit and stitch a stylistic pair of longtrousers for me, such that whenever I put it on, hoardes of ladies besiege me: OH ‘kello Jerry! do marry me my Hero; do marry me and take me as wife in chief to Nyakatch, land of the brave!

To an ajok akwero nyirigo, yie ung’wonna x2; to long maka omin ‘tella oseko rwako ni nono, (ni long’ni ni nono x2) onge mwandu! HEE HAHA HA HAAA!! OR:
–With heavy heart I have to dissappoint them breathless ladies: This trouser you see me in, is empty. Pennilessly empty I say, O piteous dears! And arlier on:
I wear it courtesy of Dicky O, my heart’s comrade who is the brother of Willy, them that were brought forth by the women of Ongilo in Jimbo. Dick the baron of great wealth, who brought me to Kisumu to play music, and rented the best hotel suite, because his great heart also knows I am wont to be a magnet of them, beauty queens whose movements of the buttocks spin your head, like our music your body! —HA HA HAHAHAAA!!

My uncle, who was among the first to buy a ‘philips automatic’ in the village, played this vinyl repeatedly to grooves, singing along from AtoZ. But I remember him saying the bass-line was new, hinting at an impatience at always playing third fiddle to rhythm and solo guitars in benga! Sorry I cant find the original Omullo Dick with its belching base.

Luo for ‘I give you my heart’. Zouk music with benga undertones.Myriad dances also fused together including bits of salsa,contemporary and kizomba (Angola). It talks about love,how strong and powerful it is, yet we choose to love. It’s not random neither is it fate. Enjoy
